Cryptanthus Bivittatus is a member of the Bromeliaceae family of tropical plants. It has many common names such as starfish plant, earth star and Red Star Bromeliad. The bromeliad is a plant commonly grown in terrariums.
Cryptanthus Bivittatus is drought tolerant once it is established. Unlike other bromeliads that have a “cup” that holds water, red star bromeliad does not have this feature, and must be watered from the root area. Water lightly when the soil is dry to the touch.
Cryptanthus makes an ideal houseplant: Keeping them around 60 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit will allow these bromeliads to thrive. Cryptanthus plants are fairly forgiving of swings in temperature.
Also known as the Red Star Bromeliad or Earth Star, Cryptanthus 'Red Star' is a tropical plant which provides a vibrant splash of colour into your home or conservatory.
